Actually you came up with a very good combination. There are better cheaper options than the GT500 fuel pumps now. Either a 6060 or T56 is going to be more than enough transmission and just as important the gear ratios are better for a boosted car. Don't forget you'll need to put a good deal of effort and money in the intercooler system and it is a system, pump, heat exchanger mounting, duct work and hoses all add up. Believe me 650rwhp is a lot of horse power it is hard to keep from spinning the tires at 80mph on the freeway with that much power.

You know, I'm at about that same level... yep, I should have started with a GT500, but at the time it seemed out of my price range. By the time I came to that realization I was already in with full suspension, supercharger and body/paint. And by that time I liked the style I had created a whole lot more than the base GT500 and would have had to put in over 10K on a GT500 to get to where I was anyway.

There are price points at horsepower levels where the cost jumps 500 is one where you need forged internals, 650 is another where you need a bigger blower. I am at 502 right now with a whipple on 11PSI with the stock block/internals, I could probably get 650 out of the current whipple with an overdrive pulley (and forged internals)... but I'm seriously considering going beyond that, so the 2.3 whipple is not enough to do that, would need something bigger, or turbos.

At least I've been supporting the North American economy... Supercharger, Tremec transmission, Mcleod clutch, SHR stuff, Cervinis, Roush, Saleen, Borla, JBA, and local labor.

Yea sell the M90 to me lol and buy the forged assembly kit and TVS

Livernois Forged rotating assembly goes for only $1499 now:

Expensive to install but maybe you can post an ad and find a SOUND mechanic that has all proper tools and experience that is looking for a side job to make extra money. Ask him his experience and even some referral's that can speak in detail about his work and expertise. Theirs probably guys here on this forum you could drive and drop off to that have done this and could use a couple grand in their pocket that love working on this specific car

Just an idea

UPR's 2010 GT Vert has a JDM 3V stroker with a Roush TVS2300. It makes 701rwhp through the 5R55 automatic. I'd expect that number to be closer to 750 with a manual trans. It's more power than you can use on the street, and it's more or less what the OP is looking for.

I say go for it, if you can afford it.
